Her first poem was sold in 1904, to the Harper's Monthly and was called "The Difference". She then had the poem "Homesick" published the next month. The work that brought her major success was "The Spirit of the Mountains" and has lots of writing elements that made it a genre-defying book. Have you gotten the chance to read any of her published poems, books, journals, etc. before this survey? Yes.
